Oh, people on LJ thinking the strike is as simply dismissible as 1) people are unhappy about the loss of Basic accounts; 2) People can't just stop using LJ, if they don't like it! - it's getting old…
I still doubt we'll make any kind of impact - the vast majority of users simply don't care about LJ's business practices, they just want to keep doing their thing. And as long as LJ isn't censoring/suspending them, yeah, they don't care.
(And I do understand it, somewhere: I certainly don't have the time, energy or finances to care about the business practices of every company in the world who provide me with a product or service - from the company that manufactures my toothbrush to my phone company. LJ just happens to shove their crappy business practice and treatment of their users in my face too often to ignore.)
